I'm a web programmer and python is my first delve into desktop programming. I had a rough guesstimation that I'd need to maybe use wxpython with an API for the flash drive (wasn't sure if hardware had this, I guess it would be the drivers?) So do you think wxPython would have the answer I'm looking for? Thanks for your reply btw -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
